iiized society which is active in all Amer.
lean %nffairs. tbs Is the public spirit
which gives to { ,mmuniiies endowment
for institutions OF charity and OF learn
Ing, and all organizations that from the
church to the smallest plan of helping
humanity bring the individual into sym
pa,hy with his fellow man by that magic
infunce Of doing good in manner where
The act becomes a part Of the moral edu-
Gators Of a great people.
What we call attention to is the fac,
that the character Of the Southern pco-
pie, so pure in domestic life and genial
In social relations, Is behind the times in
a proper expression Of their own feelings.
Or, in other words, tn re is the indi-
y.dual character without the aggrega-
ion Of sentiment that the modern world
believes in, and whi,h Is the element o.
our modern civilization.
We have numerous instances in this
community, notably like that of the
Soldiers Home, lhst proclaim the intel
ligence and character Of the people. Il
is not only the fact Of doing a just and
noble act for The brave men that fought
like patriots, but it Is In all time the ex.
preston Of a popular idea that brings the
minds and hearts of men to nurse the
noble qualities Of humanity. 1t brings
all classes OF men together, and in times
Of difficulty breaks the violence Of
poplar disturbance and pours into the
bi ter passions of men the sweetness Of
charity and fraternity.
We walk in an age Of such quick ac-
tons that We fail TO compare our lot with
that Of the past generation. The suffer
ings Of humanity are great, but the world
moves in more Just and better moral
ways than ever before. The average
citizen never hears Of a disaster by food
or fire to any remote community but he
is ready to offer to the extent Of his
means a certain amount Of relief. Men
Of wealth understand a duty TO their
brethren aud believe that the good for
tune they enjoy carries with it certain
obligations.
1t cannot be doubted that any good
act performed from a good motive null
tiplies itself a hundred.fold in the opera
ton of a good example, and in tho Prop
agation OF sound principles.
The people Of means in Virginia ought
to understand that a score of men can
do not twenty times more, but five hun
bred times more than n man, and
therein Is the meaning Of a public spirit
that has the broad scope TO see and COM
prehend the needs Of a community, and
bring as many men of sense and wealth
to bear on the desired result as possible.

western edge of the Abyssinian plateau,
and two forces Of the Kings troops are
advancing towards Massowah along the

The following is a piece of curious
news to many people: by the common
law girls of twelve and boys Of fourteen
are legally competent TO marry, and this
common Jaw rule still holds even In some
States where a higher age is mentioned
in the statutes. Two persons, of the
requisite age, whatever that may be, may
go 10 u minister or magistrate and get
married in the way prescribed by statute.
Or, by their W agreement, without
minister, magistrate, witness or cere-
mony, they may make themselves husband
and wife. Once the marriage is consum-
mated it car be annulled only by a court.
1t cannot be broken by either or both OF
the parties themselves. The consent
given to-day cannot be withdrawn by
either or both to-morrow."-N Y. Herald

ODD FELLOWS, REUNION.

The Veterans Have a stormy Day for
Their Annual Reunion-Not n Large
Attendance.
The Veteran Odd Fellows reunion was held
at Stony Creek yesterday, the same as where
it was last held. The veterans and some of
their friends from this city went to Stony
Creek by train shortly after II o'clock. They
numbered about forty. Veterans from other
parts of the State were present, as the asso-
citation includes most of the veteran Odd Eel
lows in Connecticut, members of twenty
five years standing and upwards. There
were not as many there as usual on account
of the Indictment weather. Dinner was had
at Frinks hotel, and all passed the time
pleasantly away, although " it rained easy"
most of the time. Luckily for the vets it
did not rain while they were en- route from
the depot to Frink's nor en- route back to the
depot. But most of the veterans are hale
and hearty owing to practicing the precepts
of Odd Fellowship, which teach the practice
of many of the virtues and tend, if well OBJ
served, to promote longevity. Peace of mind
seemed to prevail among them, and patience
characterized the assembly despite the wet
weather which kept them indoors most of
the time. When the rain did f'let up'' they
sailed forth and watched some anglers who
were bluefshing and otherwise enjoyed the
interval. After dinner speeches were made
by Frederick Botsford and Brother Andruss,
of this city. There was excellent singing

| Miss Agnes Ryan's Death to BE FulIJ
| Investigated-The McDOnalds Have
Quarrel-A Jury Summoned.
DANBURY, Aug. 24.-The mystery sur
rounding the death of Miss Agnes Ryan has
not been cleared up yet. She died under
circumstances which made it look as if she
had been foully dealt with. She went out
riding on Sunday with two young men, She
drove to the home of Thomas Mcdonald in
Westville and died there few hours later
At the time of her death but Mrs Mcdonald
and one of the neighbors were present. 1t is
said that the girl had $25, but when search
for it was made afterward it was not found.
Some of the neighbors claim that the Nc
Donald family had a squabble that evening
for they had been drinking and had had sew
eral quarrels during the day. Just after the
girl entered the house loud talking was heard
and it is said that pistols were brought into
requisition. After this they could tell moth
ing more excepting that one or two had been
told that the girl was very sick and after
ward learned that she had died.
An undertaken was sent for and it is said
that arrangements for an immediate burial
were made, and probably would have been
carried out but for the interference of some
of the neighbors who from the actions of the
family concluded that all was not right Chief
of Police Crofut is looking fof the young
man who carried Miss Ryan to the Middle
River house.
DR.. Barber, and Deputy Coroner DR.. Downes
held post-mortem examination as Coroner
Holt was not at his home in Bridgeport. It
was found that the deceased had had extensive
vedema of the lungs, which was produced by
a shock. A jury has been summoned as the
case fully warrants it and an inquest begun
One of the theories advanced is that the girl
was druoped or Doisoned

A Young Lady'S PerIl-SavIn Rock
Grove and the shore Road.
The Hartford Foresters picnicked at the
shore yesterday and enjoyed themselves as
well as such rainy day would allow.
The rainy weather lessons the shore ar
rivals somewhat.
The new breakwater near Howes' pavilion
is constantly being filed in and the strength
of the breakwater was severely tested yester.
day when the high waves dashed harmlessly
against it.
1t is almost universal desire that the
road from Skeeles' to the Rock be widened
and the horse cars run to the Rock. This
improvement would meet a general ap-
proval.
The Rock, which was at one time the pic
mic ground of the west shore, is now wholly
unused by picnics and only stragglers and
small parties ever visit it at present. The
shore road running along the Rock is most
pleasant driveway and should be made a
public road.
Mrs. Pauline Steele, of New Britain, is
visiting relations on Beach street.
A young lady whose name was not ascer-
tanned narrowly escaped drowning yester-
day while In bathing. She ventured out be.
yond her depth, and being unable to swim
would have lost her life but for speedy as
sIstance from shore.

GRADE CROSSINGS.

NorwaIk Yesterday to Consider Grade
Crossings.
The railroad commissioners gave hearing
yesterday on grade crossings. The road
which crosses the New Haven road by Henry
Smiths residence was considered The Con-
solidated railroad company at this point have
been raising the grade. The crossing has
always been considered dangerous, and the
question has arisen as to how to protect life
at that point, whether by gates or for the
highway to go over or under the track. The
preponderance of testimony was in favor of
maintaining highway line as it now exists,
The Compo grade crossing was also cons
sidered. The proposition here is to carry the
highway under the tracks, but to do it will
necessitate 1000 feet drainage. Some thought
that going over the tracks would be better.
